TEDCO4D Vision Chicken Anatomy Model

Smaller than I expected at about 7", but I found the sculpting detail very good, and the snap together parts fit perfectly. Took awhile to assemble because we couldn't find the instructions easily, though the info booklet that it came with had some unexpected and accurate anatomical explanations, like 'lungs are affixed to thorax and don't expand, some bones are hollow and part of the respiratory system' ( paraphrased). One side of the bird is crystal clear for viewing, the other half shell is painted Leghorn white. Only criticism would be that in the model the lungs were free-floating and difficult to keep in place during assembly. Totally worth the price, in my opinion.

I have five of these total, and they're excellent for show-and-tell for aspiring veterinarians and animal scientists. I love this one in particular because of its size relative to the others - seriously, it's bigger than the cow and the horse. I call it Godzilla Chicken.One bad thing: it's a b*tch to assemble and it doesn't stay together as well as the others. Smaller parts, too, so they'd be more likely to be lost if it's frequently disassembled and assembled.

I had a really hard time getting this to assemble and I’m pretty good at stuff like this. But my significant other was able to finish it for me and it’s pretty cool to look at.

I wish I had read the other reviews. We raise chickens and homeschool so I thought this model would be perfect for teaching chicken anatomy. The assembly was near impossible due to the lack of instructions and the pieces not fitting together. Everytime I would get a piece attached, 2 others would fall off. The kids lost interest completely. So frustrating. Also it's a little smaller than expected and the clear side of the chicken is textured making it difficult to see the pieces through the plastic once assembled (ps. Still working on assembly.....)

The hardest thing to assemble, the pieces didn't fit together well, and there was no space for everything. I left it in the packaging to assemble separately.

The clear cover is textured, which makes it hard to see the inside when all is assembled. Quality is similar to other 4D models, but a couple pieces on this one don't stay together and I ended up gluing them.

Fun to have as a model to show "internal" workings of a chicken/hen. Definitely a great price and would be a great tool for explaining things to kids and adults as well.

This model will be used to help children understand anatomical aspects of birds. I like that you have the outside of the bird, then turn it around and view the insides, plus you can then completely dissect it to gain better perspective on form and function.
